The show was HORRIBLE tonight!

I am giving up watching grays. the writing is worse than awful, the characters are totally unbelieveable and in general the show is boring. who is doing the writing these days?

The gallbladder guy had numerous follow ups in a short amount of time because the chief botched his surgery and Bailey was helping the chief cover the mistake up by following up the patient thoroughly and making sure that the issue didn't get out because if people knew that the chief clamped the wrong duct (i.e. the common bile duct), it would cost him his career. Heck, the patient didn't even know that something went wrong with his surgery. Bailey just said she liked the guy so that Derek would stop questioning her. Did you honestly think that she really liked the guy? Oh dear!

Good show! Liked the crossover.
The only think I have to say the lesbian relationship w/ Callie will go no where. Here is 2 pretty woman and what? Boring,
Could have done more with Meredith and her fathers relationship since the transplant instead of Meridith in bed most episodes.
I Think the Cheif needs to have a good storyline soon.

It was about time that Mark/Lexie broke up. That relationship was never set up properly. Alex and Lexie doing the deed was meh, but it was better than Alex/Reed. Alex really needs a better storyline without involving Izzie or sex.

Cristina was awesome in this episode. I totally agreed with her decision because that's who she is since the debut of Grey's. Teddy and Owen are pathetic characters and need to go far far away, preferably in another galaxy.

I agree with Dorv...you missed quite a bit with Marc and Addison by not watching "Private Practice." So mush so that I am bettering if you watched PP your review would read quite a bit differently.

And I don't think Bailey is interested in that guy at all. The hospital and the merger is putting people on edge, the last thing they need is a huge lawsuit..so sucking up to that guy is the best way Bailey can gauge what he knows, and how he feels. She told Derek that to cover for the chief and so he would quit asking about her personal life...I thought that was glaringly obvious!

As for Marc...I dont' think his transformation is quite as quick as you think. Do you have kids? If not...let me tell you for many people, especially men because they don't carry the baby, there is that moment, that one defining moment where it hits you..i am a dad. This is it..and you step up...Not only did we see that in this episode, but Lexie called him on it as well.

And I understand where Lexie is coming from...she is young, and is just coming to terms with her love for Marc, and older man with a past...and now here he is making decisions for the both of them that drastically effect her life as well. She has a right to question him on it!

Micheal: I'm not a Private Practice fan either, but I do watch the cross-over episodes. And, truthfully, all of the coloring of Mark that you saw in this episode, and based your opinion on, are missing a lot of detail because you didn't catch it.

it sure is good to have grey's back..i definitely think they shook it up quite a bit this episode..i really enjoyed it. i don't see how anyone can complain about this show..relax.

i must give credit to their ending sequences, they really have some great endings, props to whoever is responsible for the music too...although it got pretty loud causing me to have to instant reply a few times to understand what people were saying.

great episode. can't wait for next week.

You don't get this show. It's all about changes in the characters over time. If there's no change, there's no story. The evolution of Mark Sloan's character defines and drives last night's narrative. Very different from your insipid dancing shows.

"Who else was a little taken aback by Bailey's taste in men?"

I was actually assuming that was suppossed to be a cover up so Derek would quit asking about it....honestly...i think that's what it was there for..

Also, i agree with you on Izzie...show is better with her gone.
